Idle Thoughts From A Retiree's Wandering Mind from Terry Myron

I had amnesia once—or twice.

Protons have mass? I didn’t even know they were Catholic.

All I ask is a chance to prove that money can’t make me happy.

If the world were a logical place, men would be the ones who ride horses’ sidesaddle.

What is a “free” gift? Aren’t all gifts free?

They told me I was gullible... and I believed them.

Christmas -- A Cautionary Tale from Don Macdougal

With Christmas fast approaching, I would like to share an experience with you about drinking and driving.

As you may know, some of us have been known to have had brushes with the authorities on our way home from various social gatherings over the years. Well, I have done something about it.

Marianne's Great New York (Mis)Adventure as told by Chris Palen

11/5 The Day It All Began
Two weeks ago today we were in NYC for a play and to meet up with friends.  After the play (Book of Mormon) we (10 of us) went to Sardi’s for a few drinks.  Some of the ladies decided they wanted to go watch the ice skaters in Bryant Park.  Well, two of them (the other one in her 20’s) decided to go skating.  Marianne was a good skater when she was younger, however, this time she caught the toe of the skate and went down hard.  Her forehead was bleeding and her knee was about four times it’s normal size.  So, just as we paid up to go to dinner and meet the girls there, my phone rings and I’m told to meet them at Roosevelt Hospital’s emergency room.  Here is a blow-by-blow after that.

Brothers and Guests Attending the 2012 Reunion from Vince DiPaolo

RE: 3005 W Kilbourn Ave from Steve Seidl

I  have researched the history of our purchase of the house, how it got called the Zoo and its eventual demise.  I do believe the same buyer from our AKPsi days still owns the house.

Happy Thanksgiving to all the brothers from fast Willie cruising by 3005 W Kilbourn before a Marquette basketball game. The house could use some landscaping!

The Phi Kappa Psi Story from Denny Leonard





In the picture above I can identify myself , Rick Mitchell, and Tom Shoemaker,
we are in the front row (4,5,6), Pete Froelich and Tom Rose (45,46) anchor the
middle of the back row.

And I think Chris Palen's writeup is correct, I have a colony pin and Phi Psi book (with my name engraved on it).

PHI or ALPHA from Chris Palen

Phi or Alpha?

Here is a story that some brothers might not know. In 1968 or 1969 Marquette started allowing social fraternities on campus and, according to Denny Leonard, the brothers “thought we needed to be in a large national to compete.”

A couple months ago I contacted Phi Kappa Psi headquarters to see what they might have on record.
